In our newsletter last week, we heard from teachers that they will accept accountability when given the authority to manage the school. This can happen in a Teacher Professional Partnership model of school governance. Fortunately, this legislative season the Minnesota Legislature passed legislation allowing additional opportunities for teachers.

We are conducting a national search for schools having a governance structure where teachers collectively control the learning program, school management, and choice of colleagues. Do you know of such a school?

E|E's Top Documents of 2008 include: The Other Half of the Strategy: Following Up on System Reform by Innovating with School and Schooling, Students influence E|E: Should K-12 policy be redirected toward innovation?, and more!
